Its time for resolutions! But what exactly are they? Impossible suggestions for a better lifestyle? Things you make up to satisfy your conscious?
I find it really interesting that it almost became a sport to make up strange and funny resolutions which everyone knows they won't achieve. Of course it can be funny, unimportant and easy to not take it seriously. But what if we would actually take it seriously? What if we make those resolutions count? And we could say: my resolutions really changed something, after the year has passed?
I think there are two sides to consider here...first the things you want to do better yourself. For me that will be to become more relaxed, not pressuring myself with things I can't change anyway, to embrace the wide range of possibilities rather than being afraid of them and lots more. I'd like to be more confident and independent of the opinions of others and just listen to the people who know me and appreciate me. Although I took it far the last year, there are still things to improve.
But the second side is interesting as well. I'd like to describe it with the question: what would I like to be the resolutions of others? What would I wish for them to change? Having a rough time myself the last year and watching others having that time too, made me notice that the world really needs more honest and less egoistic people. I know this is an obvious one, but what if everyone really thinks about that and tries to change that?
Life can be unbelievably hard sometimes and you can't do anything about it. You can loose a beloved person, as a man you could loose your balls to cancer before the new year starts (true story a friend told me), loose your job due to the crisis, get really sick etc, etc. There isn't really anything you could do...but then life gets even harder thanks to us making it harder than it has to be. Is that really necessary? Why not make life nicer and easier being friendly and respectful to each other? So my wishes for this year are:
Please think about it before you spread rumours about others just because you love to gossip. You never know how much you can hurt that person.
Please don't fool around with the feelings of others. You know how it feels the other way.
Please just be a little bit more honest although it means hurting someone or being the bad person. As it really getting a rare virtue in persons,I'd really wish for more honesty.
Please just say clearly what you want or don't want, as it makes life so much easier of you know where you stand.
Even trying a little with those above mentioned suggestions , things would get more honourable again and actually could be called human because what we sometimes do to each other isn't human at all.
Let's think about that and make that year count!
